BSD Investing’s Post

This article from The Institutional Investor looked at data from a recent analysis of over 5,00 deals looking at nearly 500 funds. According to Michael Thrasher: “The analysis quantified what the firm had observed for many years: private equity strategies that have less than $350 million in assets, and that focus on investing in esoteric industries or businesses, meaningfully outperformed bigger funds.” Opportunity isn’t static, nor is it beholden entirely to the workings of the market. Instead, value can be identified in looking where no one else is, and identifying good ideas from passionate founder bent on bringing their vision into reality. #PrivateEquity #StartupSuccess #MarketChanges

Typically, these funds are accessible only to institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, and individuals with substantial wealth, due to high entry requirements and associated risks. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀: 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 (𝗩𝗖): Focuses on early-stage companies that promise rapid growth and offer innovative products or services. VC funds typically invest equity, not debt. 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁 (𝗟𝗕𝗢): Aims at acquiring controlling stakes in mature companies through significant leverage, striving to enhance their value. 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 (𝗚𝗖): Supports established businesses that need funds to expand or innovate, without significantly diluting current ownership. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲: Invests in properties, ranging from stable, cash-flow generating assets to high-risk development projects. 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 (𝗙𝗼𝗙): Diversifies risk by investing in various private equity funds instead of direct company stakes, typically yielding lower returns.

Investment in private equity involves limited partners (LPs) who provide the capital and general partners (GPs) who manage the fund's investments. GPs are responsible for selecting investments, deal structuring, monitoring progress, and planning strategic exits. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁: Private equity plays a crucial role in funding small to mid-sized enterprises, fostering economic growth and supporting numerous "unicorns." These funds operate with less regulatory scrutiny compared to public companies, which adds an element of opacity. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘃𝘀. 𝗛𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀: Both are sophisticated investment vehicles, but they differ mainly in duration and strategy.
